3V0-23.25 Exam Dumps - VMware VCAP-Storage Questions and Answers

vSAN HCI Cluster = A cluster that provides both compute and storage to Virtual Machines;

vSAN Storage Cluster = A vSAN cluster that provides disaggregated storage for vSAN and vSphere clusters;

vSAN Compute Cluster = A vSphere cluster that does not have local vSAN storage, but instead, it mounts a remote vSAN datastore;

vSAN Stretched Cluster = A vSAN Cluster topology that extends a single logical vSAN cluster across two availability zones. A vSAN stretched cluster can tolerate a site failure.

These mappings describe the primary vSAN storage models used in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0. A vSAN HCI Cluster is the traditional hyperconverged model where the same cluster provides compute resources and contributes local storage devices to the vSAN datastore for running virtual machines. A vSAN Storage Cluster is a disaggregated storage model based on vSAN ESA; it provides storage capacity and performance to other vSAN or vSphere clusters instead of primarily running workloads itself. A vSAN Compute Cluster is a vSphere cluster that does not contribute local vSAN capacity. Instead, it consumes a remote datastore exported by a vSAN Storage Cluster, enabling compute and storage to scale separately. A vSAN Stretched Cluster extends a single logical vSAN cluster across two availability zones or sites and uses a witness to maintain quorum, allowing workloads to tolerate a full site failure. These distinctions are essential for choosing between HCI, disaggregated storage, remote storage consumption, and availability-zone resilience.

Run the Python reboot helper script only on one ESXi host to recover the cluster.

Enable cluster member updates from vCenter Server on all ESXi hosts.

Exit all hosts from maintenance mode.

During a manual vSAN cluster restart after a planned outage, the hosts must first be brought back and exited from maintenance mode so the cluster can begin recovery. The vSAN reboot helper recovery script must then be run on only one ESXi host. Running the script on multiple hosts can create race conditions and unexpected cluster state. After the recovery script completes, cluster member updates from vCenter Server must be enabled on all ESXi hosts so that normal membership updates resume across the cluster. Enabling updates on only one host is incomplete because all hosts must return to normal cluster-member update behavior. Running the Python reboot helper script on all ESXi hosts is explicitly incorrect because the recovery operation must be initiated from a single host only. Disabling cluster member updates is a shutdown-side activity, not the required restart-side recovery action in this question.
